Why Performance Is an SEO Priority
Google made Core Web Vitals a confirmed ranking factor in 2021. By 2026, the thresholds have tightened and the penalty for failing them has grown. LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1 — these are your benchmarks.
For Gulf businesses, the local network infrastructure means mobile performance optimization is especially critical. Users on mobile networks in KSA and UAE experience performance deficits that desktop-focused optimization misses entirely.
